Steadily delivering value to your customers in a sustainable manner is only feasible when you focus on code quality, testing and conscious handling of tech debt. This requires a deliberate effort to raise the bar of professionalism in your Engineering department.
What is Craftsmanship?
Software Craftsmanship is defined in the Software Craftsmanship Manifesto as an extension or refinement of the Agile Manifesto. It is short and concise enough to be quoted in full:
As aspiring Software Craftsmen we are raising the bar of professional software development by practicing it and helping others learn the craft. Through this work we have come to value:
Not only working software, but also well-crafted software
Not only responding to change, but also steadily adding value
Not only individuals and interactions, but also a community of professionals
Not only customer collaboration, but also productive partnerships
That is, in pursuit of the items on the left we have found the items on the right to be indispensable.
How I can help
I will join your Engineering Teams to build and foster a craftsmanship mindset through:
- pair- and team-programming sessions
- facilitating discussions around quality and business value
- coaching on testing approaches
- organizing events for knowledge exchange
